Paul Adkins, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Benjamin H. White, Jr., As- sistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No.

104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Adkins, No.

CR-89-238-S; CA-94-69-4 (M.D.N.C. Dec. 8, 1995). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
